That's it, and in the remainder of the post, let's see what interesting patterns and visualisations we can make. Let's first look at the most flown routes:
We can also make a distinction in flight level
There is a lot more information in the data, such as altitude, vertical speed and velocity
And because COVID-19 is here, let's plot the data of the past weeks. The slowdown of traffic can be easily seen
I also went through the top 100 callsigns. Turns out there are many interesting aircraft to be found. Let's make it into a quiz: which pattern belongs to:
- Helicopter flights (mostly offshore)
- Aerial photography
- Emergency care flights
- Police helicopters
- Military
- Coastguard
Answers on the bottom

That's it, hope you liked it. Answers to the above: A = Helicopter flights (mostly offshore) B = Aerial photography C = Emergency care flights D = Police helicopters E = Military F = Coastguard
Here you can download larger scale visualisations.
